Full

Trying to catch up. Always behind. Never on top. i close my eye. I hear noises. I hear voices. I feel that I am somewhere but am not. That I should be doing something. That the space where I am is not where I am.

Dublin is his city. This is his home.

Having read Philip’s book and seen that Bladerunner is one of his favourite films I watched parts of it again. The replicants live 4 years and are afraid of dying. So they are trying out everything they can to prolong their lives. I don’t remember how the film ends.

We wonder whether Pádraig might have a cold. How can you tell? How can he? Tell.

Pádraig is now also getting OT a few hours a week. The therapist has lots of experience and already seems to have established the beginnings of a connection with Pádraig. She is amazed that Pádraig never had the kind of therapy she is offering him. So are we. And so, I am sure, is Pádraig!

Full day tomorrow. Working my way down a long list.

Just saying thanks again Reinhard for keeping us up to date on all of your and Padraig ‘s news. It was wonderful to get a sense of the wonder of the trip to Lourdes from your blog.
I heard that Joe Duffy programme to when he spoke with you and talked to Padraig. It was a great interview. Warmest birthday wishes (belated I know! )to Padraig for his 25th on 29th☺He and I share the same birthday. ..with many years between our birth years however! I had tried to e mail those wishes on the night itself but managed to mess up on the sending of my e mail!. I thought I’d sent it but clearly missed one of the vital links and it got lost in cyberspace ! So, as the saying goes”better late than never”..so here are those wishes now. Padraig knows Andrew s birthday is the day before his -but bet he didn’t know that his mum shared the same date.
Best wishes, as always
Raphael

Happy Birthday to you, Raphael! Better late than never!! The last week of May must be a busy week in your household then?! I hope Andrew and you had two brilliant days and will have many happy years ahead! – Reinhard
